Poi camera capture software questions

Hi - this is my 1st post so here goes:
I am using Tomtom Go 300 ver 6.520 and have just installed the Camera Capture POI software succesfully.
When I press the POI capture icon, a blue screen appears for 2-3 seconds saying "Loading POI capture" before the "Select POI type" screen appears.
My 1st question: Is the camera position recorded as soon as I tap the "capture POI" icon? or is it recorded, having waited 2-3 seconds for the "type of camera" screen to load and I choose the type of camera? Hope this makes sense (you can drive quite a way in 2-3 seconds!).
2nd question: On the Capture POI software download page, the "record POI" icon is shown on the 1st page of the Tomtom device it is installed on. I have to scroll to page 4 of 4 of the menu page to get to the "capture icon". I would rather not have to scroll thu 3 pages if possible so is there any way of moving the icon to the 1st menu page as shown here: http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/poicapture-tomtom-go.php

Thanks for your help

The position is saved when you tap the POICapture icon, this gives you the chance to tap the remaining icons when safe to do so (or leave the whole capture routine to the passenger to be on the safe side).

In the download you should find a file TomTom.mnu if you put this in to the SdkRegistry folder you should find the POICapture icon has moved to page one of the menu, if you want to move further menu items around open the TomTom.mnu file using notepad on the PC and move the positions of each line of text to suit what you want - note POICapture will be listed as SDK1 - Mike

1. The first time that you press the POICapture Icon, (after doing a Reset or when disconnecting from the PC), it will load the application into memory. This means that there is a slight delay before the application can capture a co-ordinate. On subsequent presses the capture is almost instantaneous.

The application is a Terminate and Stay Resident app, and will stay in memory until you do a Reset. It will stay there even if the Device is switched off.

For this reason it is usual to 'Capture' a location in your garden, and then delete it, before moving off.

One thing you have to bear in mind is that the data from the satellites is available only once every second. Therefore your press could be at the end of that second and at 60mph you will have travelled nearly 30 yards.

2. To get the POICapture Icon on Page 1 of the Main Menu, you need to have a file called TomTom.mnu in the SdkRegistry Folder.

If you have downloaded Version 1.06G a mnu file is included, but is not in the SdkRegistry.
